A good rule of thumb is that 25% of Android devices will have the OS within 1 year of release and 50% within 2 years of release. Based on https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html though, L is behi

So this is how I did it: 1. Read a bunch about self-publishing. Traditional publishers give 10-15% royalty, and this book really isn't built for paper-back, so I decided to go digital. Amazon gives you 35% or 70% royalty depending on w

I've signed up for a 10-day course in mid August and am stoked about what I'll gain and also about the sheer difficulty. Could you talk more about the long-term effects of Vipassana on your body/life?

I didn't down vote, but it might be because it doesn't appear that btdollar is hell banned. I though hell ban = all their comments are dead, but it's plausible that his [dead] comments were just down voted.

Just browsed through this, looks like a great book. Two suggestions: 1. Put your ToC on the home screen as well. 2. It'd be nice if you covered low-power IoT protocols like ZigBee, Thread, 6loWPAN, etc. Stuff based on the 802.15.4 sta

Thanks for your input. To clarify, a lot of this material has been put together by other users - I just transformed the info in website form. I think you're right for the most part. CC is full of kids giving each other advice and none

I'm aware of it and I plan to develop new material to help prepare for the new format. I'm waiting until the sample test comes out in March 2015 to get a better idea.

Really cool technology. I think the really hard part is 'What is a good interaction?' Clearly the offer isn't too useful, but the hospital one seems good. In general, I think 'help me find stuff' and 'notify on
